“I LOVE DESSERT. WHETHER IT’S BAKING AN APPLE PIE FOR MY CHILDREN OR A CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR A FAMILY GET-TOGETHER, THE WORLD FEELS LIKE A BETTER PLACE WITH A SWEET TREAT IN IT. BUT, WHEN I LOOK AROUND FOR RECIPES THAT FIT WITH THE WAY THAT I LIKE TO EAT, I OFTEN COME UP SHORT.

At one end of the spectrum, there are plenty of traditional recipes loaded with sugar, fat and white flour. They taste delicious, but they’re lacking any kind of nourishing goodness. At the other end, there are highly restrictive recipes, maybe sugar or fat free, but the results are often disappointing when it comes to taste.

The recipes in this book are designed to be the best of both worlds – they’re delicious and nourishing. They contain some sugar and fat from the least refined forms as well as wholegrains, eggs, vegetables and fruit. They have plenty of goodness, but they’re still a treat and you’re definitely supposed to enjoy them.

Above all, these recipes are intended to help you stay connected with your kitchen. One of my greatest concerns is how modern food processing is affecting our collective health.

This is where your Thermomix® is your best friend. Whether it’s milling flours from scratch or making your own seed butters, berry jams, nut milks or fruit purees, by not resorting to something manufactured, you will inevitably be making better food choices.

I do hope you enjoy this book and I can’t wait to see your beautiful culinary creations.”
